Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1728: Chapter 1728: Has the Pill Been Ruined?

”Cough, cough~” Ye Hao coughed a couple of times with difficulty and weakly said to Ye Haochuan, ”Haochuan, you saved me again this time!”

Ye Hao was already severely poisoned, almost completely losing his defensive abilities. Most of Ji Song’s self-destructive power was blocked by Ye Haochuan just now, but some shockwaves still reached through.

If it were a normal person, even this slight impact would smash them to pieces. It was thanks to Ye Hao’s own strength and his body being much tougher than ordinary people that he managed to survive unharmed.

”Grandfather, what are you saying? Saving you is something I, your grandson, should do!” Ye Haochuan said with a smile.

Ye Hao nodded weakly, smiling, ”Although you didn’t have the Ye Family’s resources to support you from childhood, it’s clear you’ve had many lucky encounters. Even your Illusion Technique has reached such a level. In terms of opportunities, I’m a bit envious of you!”

”That’s true, how could the Three-Eyed War God’s grandson have weak luck?” Ye Haochuan chuckled, instantly paying a compliment to Ye Hao.

”Illusion Technique? When did you use it?” Long Keyue asked, feeling somewhat curious as she had just walked over and heard Ye Hao’s words.

”I used the Illusion Technique when Ji Song attacked, causing his trajectory to shift slightly, which made him miss!”

Hearing Ye Haochuan’s explanation, Long Keyue felt a trace of admiration and envy toward him. She envied Ye Haochuan’s luck and admired his ability to make such a unique arrangement in such a short amount of time.

Puff~

As the group breathed a sigh of relief over Ji Song’s death, Tu Hongshan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his aura weakening instantly.

The pill furnace in his hand also extinguished due to lack of support.

Tu Hongshan wasn’t saddened by his injury; instead, he looked at the pill furnace with despair, muttering repeatedly, ”It’s over, all over. Just when it was about to succeed, why couldn’t I hold on a bit longer? I’m truly useless!”

The pill had reached the most critical stage of production, requiring just a few more moments for success.

Because it’s the crucial point, there can be no mistakes; not to mention that the fire has gone out now, which is a fatal blow to the pill’s formation.

Ye Hao’s life is now hanging by the Snow Condensation Revival Pill. With such little time, it’s not easy to refine another batch.

Actually, who can blame him? While he was performing Alchemy, several Ji Family experts attacked him. He barely held on, preventing the pill from being ruined.

But Ji Song’s self-destructive power was too overwhelming, causing him instant severe injury. Although he struggled to persist, ultimately, he couldn’t break through the limits of his physical condition.

”You rest and recover, leave the rest to me!” Ye Haochuan suddenly took two steps forward, enveloping Tu Hongshan’s furnace with the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame.

”It’s useless, the pill energy is broken; this batch is already ruined!” Tu Hongshan shook his head, sighing.

He could even see the pills in the furnace already breaking apart, at this point, not even a deity could save them.

”How will we know if we don’t try?” Ye Haochuan’s response was simple.

This batch of pills was Ye Hao’s last chance; he wouldn’t give up until the very end.

Indeed, the situation inside the furnace wasn’t looking good. Six pills in a batch, and each one was already fractured. And the fractured parts, without the Pill Master’s Spiritual Energy covering them, had turned to debris.

Ye Haochuan immediately decided to strip away the damaged portion from each pill and then merge the remaining parts into one pill.

However, saying it is easier than doing it.

Not to mention that stripping off the damaged parts requires precise operations fraught with difficulty. Even if successful, with several pills that were nearly formed and had transitioned from liquid to solid, how could they still be completely meld together?

Such a task, Ye Haochuan had never done before; he was just trying anything in hope of success.

Seeing the determination in Ye Haochuan’s eyes, Tu Hongshan had nothing more to say and silently stepped aside to tend to his own wounds.

The battle outside was still ongoing. Although the Ji Family members who came weren’t many, they were all experts. The members of the Long Alliance, while numerous, even with the power of the Genius Seven Kills Formation, found it unlikely to kill these individuals.

Fortunately, Ji Song’s death shattered their hopes completely, leaving them without the desire to fight, concentrating instead on escaping.

Thus, for Ye Haochuan, security concerns were no longer an issue; he could now concentrate fully on refining this Detoxification Pill.

Time was pressing; Ye Hao could face life-threatening danger at any moment. However, Ye Haochuan remained unflustered because he knew panic would mean mistakes, and mistakes would lead to irreversible consequences.

Pills are extremely delicate, especially those that have just undergone hardship; any slight mistake could turn them to ashes.

Ye Haochuan delicately controlled the furnace temperature with the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame, while using Spiritual Energy to form a needle-point-sized blade to meticulously cleanse the pills of their ”impurities.”

This process lasted a full five minutes.

Five minutes of intense concentration left Ye Haochuan’s forehead covered in sweat.

Thankfully, it was completed without incident, and all the damaged parts were removed totally. Now, the task was to fuse the six incomplete pills together.

Pills aren’t something that merely obtaining a certain quantity will achieve the desired effect.

Each pill is an entire entity, akin to a person’s brain and limbs, with every part indispensable.

To meld several defective pills into a unified whole, they must be fused into one, then reshaped so the pill reconstitutes as a complete entity.

Ye Haochuan tried several times; it was impossible for these nearly solidified defective pills to re-fuse.

”It’s useless! Perhaps at the early stage of refining, this method might still work. But now, it’s too late!” Tu Hongshan sighed again.

Ye Haochuan’s series of precise operations just now had raised Tu Hongshan’s evaluation of his Alchemy skills significantly. Even if Tu Hongshan himself had intervened, he doubted he could have done better than Ye Haochuan.

But no level of Alchemy could combine these pills into one entity.

Ye Haochuan frowned tightly, his expression heavy. This conundrum truly had him at a loss.

In his mind were several preliminary solutions, yet none offered a guarantee of success. In such a critical moment, failure was not an option, leaving him very conflicted.

At this moment, Yige suddenly stepped forward with a drop of emerald green liquid, saying, ”Use this!”

Ye Haochuan’s eyes lit up upon seeing the liquid, casting a look of gratitude and concern towards Yige.
